       I have built the 386 compiler on my sparc and my only problem is with
       the linking.  I can't get the linker to work.  I belive that part of
       the problem to the linker is that I'm fairly lazy and don't have
       enough time.   The tools work fine as cross tools but you will need to
       hack the makefile so that the gen files don't get compiled by your
       cross tools.  This all works fine but I have to link on the PC!

       If anyone has the cross linker or knows what I have to do I would like
       and information leading to successfully building the gnu linker for
       the PC.

   I had the exact same problem.  I even tried building it for a Vax and
   trying it there (on the assumption it was a byte-ordering snafu) to no
   avail.

   Somebody mentioned that Dr. Dobb's Journal recently ran a series of
   articles on cross-compiling with GCC, and dealt with byte-ordering
   problems, but I don't have access to these back issues.  Perhaps you will
   have better luck.

   Please let me know if anyone comes up with a solution.

   Thanks,
	   Bob

Are you tinkering with the beta version of the binutils?  This is
suppose to work but I think that we need to spend a little time in
specifying a configure script for a CROSS to a 386 under GO32.  I
think it can be done in a day but I don't have the time.
